Review Engagement

Are you looking for a quick scan of the figures of your organization? Do you not need an audit, but would you like to obtain some comfort on the figures of your organization or is an audit too costly?

Under a review engagement, we, as auditors, will state whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework. A review engagement is carried out in accordance with ISRE 2400 or ISRE 2410.

Agreed Upon Procedures Engagement
An expenditure verification relating to projects funded by the European Commission (e.g. Horizon 2020 or Interreg)? EFRO grants? FOST Plus? Recupel?

An agreed-upon procedures engagement is an engagement, in which an auditor is engaged to carry out those procedures of an audit nature to which the auditor and the entity and any appropriate third parties have agreed and to report on factual findings. The recipients of the report form their own conclusions from the report issued by the auditor.

Prospective Reporting
An auditor may be engaged to provide a report on forecasts and projections prepared by a business. The engagement may be regulated, for example, in connection with a securities offering to a regulated market, or it may be contractual such as a report upon request of a bank.

The auditor is reporting on the credibility of future financial forecasts and projections. In assessing the credibility of this information the auditor will consider matters as the basis of preparation of the information, the quality of the assumptions used in preparing the information, how the forecasts compare such with external economic forecasts and how the forecasts compare with the historical performance of the business.
Assurance on non-financial information

Increasingly, businesses and their stakeholders need assurance on aspects of their business outside of the purely financial area. This can be a key element of an organization’s control environment, the internal controls of a third-party service provider, the information to be provided by municipalities or AGB’s under the BBC-legislation or can cover an organization’s commitments to its employees or an organization’s efforts in respect of sustainability.

Our assurance work is conducted under a variety of frameworks that are based on international standards. As a result, the assurance services we provide can be tailored to the small, independent business to the larger, multinational businesses.
